Settlers attack vehicles with stones south of Nablus

The attack occurred at a section of the road close to the village of Burin in Nablus province, according to local sources.

Ghassan Daghlas, an official who monitors Israeli violations in the area, told WAFA that colonial settlers from the illegal settlement of Yitzhar, built illegally on Palestinian land near the village, gathered at the main street and pelted stones at Palestinian vehicles driving at the road. No injuries were reported, although some of the vehicles attacked sustained minor damage.

There has been an increase in settler-related attacks against Palestinians and their properties during the past few months.

The Israeli settlement of Yitzhar is notorious for its hardcore Jewish settler community who in the past few years committed countless attacks against Palestinians and their property, including arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, attacks on vulnerable homes, among others.

Settler vandalism of Palestinian property in the occupied territories is almost a daily occurrence, and attacks by settlers are rarely prosecuted by Israeli occupation authorities.
